I think I read it won't be out until next November.

Anyway, the mega-rich Fox of today just isn't the same studio that made the original.

Oh boy- are you ever RIGHT about THAT!!!

The biggest shocker- and let's be real, having
Will Smith play the role of James West in the movie
'Wild, Wild West'!!! Good... GAWD! :-/

Look... I don't have a prejudiced bone in my
body, seriously, but a black man playing James
West, a member of the U.S. Secret Service, in
post Civil War America. SHEESH! I mean... I
like Will Smith as much as the next guy. He's
incredibly bright, raps very well, has a fantas-
tic sense of humor, is a wonderful actor, is
quick-witted nearly to the point of genius- BUT-
he has no cause to be featured in the role of
James West. WAY off base!

From what I know of history and the bigotries
prevalent of the time, it just couldn't happen.
No friggin' way! And I don't care if it is 'sci-
ence fiction', as much as it was. And I'm not
going to accept the excuse that it's an 'alter-
nate reality'. Unreal is what it is. It just
plain didn't work for me at all, AND... I had
black friends and coworkers who bitched about
the whole idea a lot louder than I did. It's
no different that if a black man played the
role of Julius Ceasar, Abraham Lincoln, or
Donald Trump! Hey... I'm all for racial equality
and cultural cross-overs into any entertainment
medium, and visa versa- with a tip 'o the hat to
Vanilla Ice and Eminem- but there are just some
roles that must historically be played by 'white'
actors.

And I don't care if this view is politically
correct- or not. Some things just don't make any
sense at all to me, especially when it comes to
a topic such as this, simply because I cannot ig-
nore such major divergences from what is established
as clear document fact. It just isn't right, and
I'm not gonna swallow it. And I hope that Holly-
wood wises up- SOON! Good gracious :-/

Subject: The role... of 'Stewart'
.html
Hello all,

I have been considering something lately, about
Stewart's role in the mission as a whole. Even though
notably the technical role of her mission was never
defined (as far as I know), but one thing we do know,
is what Taylor told Nova, and I quote, from memory;
"Now Stewart- there was a fine girl. She was to be
the new 'Eve'... with our hot little help of course."
Unquote. I know that's close as a quote.

I've searched the group for discussions on the
matter of Stewart's role in the mission, and couldn't
find any, and beyond whatever technical expertise
and mission purpose she may have had, one unstated,
what Taylor told Nova... is more than intrigueing to
say the least. The 'new Eve'... very interesting.

If this is true, Stewart by some measure of real
understanding and agreement... was quite apparently
to become, well... a wife in principle to three hus-
bands, and, one in a polyandrous relationship that
appears to be out of wedlock as well. Living... in
sin, as it were. Sin aside... it sure seems to be
a good deal for her, having three strong and still
young males as protectors, and one can only imagine
the 'fun' to be had sharing one bed with three men
so willing to take their pleasure with her. Kinky,
and just fine if she truly has the stamina to deal
with that. One can presume... that some kind of
'mating schedule' was to be employed, to prevent
wearing the poor girl out. I mean... really. She
at least would never want for bedtime venial com-
panionship. A brave girl otherwise. Such under-
standing is quite rare.

But... the new 'Eve'??? Oh... I don't think
so. As a new Eve it's even more obvious that their
flight was expected to be a one-way mission, but
no species can propagate with only one female and
three males... as the beginning of it all. Imbreed-
ing would become a REAL issue immediately with the
next generation of children, being direct sisters
and brothers and half-sisters and half brothers...
assuming that Stewart... gave birth to a considera-
ble number of children. So... if these four intrepid
travelors are expected to, or were believed to be...
a propagating group with no others among their species
to reproduced with, they as a species are all but to-
tally doomed, or at the least suffer the terribe con-
sequences of birth defects and stillbirths in great
and unpleasant frequency.

Ultimately the very idea of Stewart being the new
'Eve' is biologically preposterous, hair-brained and
totally illogical- without merit. And since this
is plainly true... it's likely that Taylor was just
rambling mindlessly, perhaps even fantasizing, and
more than a litle bit, just wanting to talk to Nova
about any darned thing- truth, lies, and even utter
nonsense. Being with someone whom cannot speak or
communicate intelligeably at all, can very much be
like being totally alone in a real sense. Even
getting the 'silent treatment' from someone mute
can be hard to deal with.

For a dose of reality, from another fantasy,
in one episode of Start Trek TNG, Dr Pulaski noted
that 60 to 70 families was enough of a varied ge-
netic base to allow for safe propagation of the
species- this assuming that every woman gave birth
to children from at least 3 different men. This
is pretty accurate, really, fact enough drawn from
real life, and is in strong contrast further against
Stewart fulfilling the role of an Eve in any posi-
tive capacity.

Otherwise... beyond Stewart's own valuable tech-
nical skills as far as the mission is concerned, she
could indeed have served the further venial purpose
of sexual partner, for each of the 3 male astronauts,
and kudos to her as well for also accepting such with
a man not her own race- Dodge- as she indeed would have
had to set all prejudices aside. So then... she was
also perhaps expected to serve as sexual companionship,
sexual relief, a sexual plaything- one may argue, but
certainly a mission role that the three males would
argue is without question an important one, yes, most
certainly for them. And true, again, Stewart benefits
as well, with three strong male protectors- in the role
of husbands very much seeing to her care, providing for
her, one and all.

There may have been women, lots of women, but for
this mission... Stewart was the only girl in town.

Feedback and input on this subject is surely
welcome. I'd like to hear some from any of you :-)

  The new movie "Idiocracy", which Fox made and buried, reportedly deals with this. A Rip Van Winkle type discovers he's the smartest guy on the planet and it's a satire of the dumbed down culture. There were some articles about how Fox didn't release it because people didn't get it in tests or something. It's from Mike Judge ("Beavis and Butthead", "King of the Hill", "Office Space"). - - - Jeff

  Another thing we can kick sand at the "Wild, Wild West" movie for is that Warners decided to to do that instead of Burton's "Superman". If they had done "Superman", Burton probably wouldn't have done "Planet of the Apes". Not that Fox would've picked someone better, but things might have turned out different.  - - - Jeff

What would be great if a company could just make a continuation of
where the original Ape movies left off, or as well as where the last
movie left off,...I am all for a continuation of the last movie where
it ends at the "APE Memorial" (as I call it!) Somebody has to pick
up where this left off, it was left so wide open and could make those
who don't respect the latest movie actually respect it, if it had a
good sequel! I was so excited as to the way it ended, don't really
know why the movie was blasted the way it was. Those "Mummy" movies
were horrible, and to me the Lord of the Rings movies were not that
great either, but of course they have a great following and did
follow ups that worked. UP THE APES!

If they had done "Superman", Burton probably wouldn't have

But then the world would have been saddled with a Burton "Superman,"
which would have been just as bad as a Burton "Apes," IMO. The best
thing for the world would have been for both studios to have "just

Guys, I'm with you. I don't like all the attention to special effects while good old fashioned storyline and characterization is neglected.
 
Oh, though I did like Casino Royale, but that could be the naked guy (I thought I'd say that before someone else did - you people!)  I enjoyed the effects and they didn't quite go over the line for me - it's one of those movies best caught in a theater, I think.

I know. It's depressing. There's like next to nothing new I have even the

I tend to also feel that the character of Stewart was just treated
as a chauvinistic throw-away. In another era she may well have been
a fully inclusive character.
How would the film have been with Taylor and Stewart as the Humans
against all Apedom?
I would have loved to see her as a survivor for the first part of
the film at least. Landon or Dodge could have died before the crash.
But, the times were different when the film was made and equal time
for all was not yet a reality.
I have the ability to aprreciate a work from the Time it was
produced. I do not agree with attempts to retro fit to make things
more palatable for the PC police.
If a film was produced now, I would whole heartedly accept the lead
as a fully realized person, be they female or male.
My only request is that if the Lead was Female, that she not be just
a gender role reversal. By that I mean, a character who behaves like
the old style chauvinistic male.
Good Characters are just that.
Brendan.

Quite the interesting thought :-)

And here's a suggestion thast I'd like to
send to Warners and other studios, and it's
just a thought. How about... making a move
using three different producers... utilizing
the same sets and actors and everything, but
with the interpretations of each Producer?
Considering the millions that they put into
making these things, they can surely afford to
pay for a couple of other guys, and the idea
of making two movies at once is an enormous
money-savinbg concept, done when 'Back to the
Future' #'s 2 and 3 were made. in this way we
get three stories, similar in some ways but
very different in others.

And imagine this... there are many movie fans
whom will gleefully buy EVERY version! Just
imagine what that will do for DVD sales :-)
A good percentage will also buy each of the
initial movie tickets too :-) A similar method
was used in the case of TV Guide... which pro-
duced their guides with a variety of picture
covers. One example was their series of Star
Trek cover, and being a gullible fan... I bought
them ALL. And I'm not the only one. TV guide
sales for that week- were immense in comparison to
their regular sales.

Anyway... it would be positively great to be
able to choose from 2 or three version of the story,
and that would work well from the standpoint of POTA
for its fans. It would allow us to decide for our-
selves which we like best, and it would provide for
all kinds of material to discuss for months and years
to come :-)

Anyhow... it was just a thought. Even wilder
ideas have proven quite profitable :-)

Now this MP book cover image is positively
fascinating :-) I love it :-)

And to me it's rather obvious that the artist
was himself Russian, judging from the style of
the spacecraft and Ape clothing. Yes- very well
done :-)

And notable... the Gorilla on the lower right,
holding a Human down with his foot... is holding
down a naked Human. One completely nude.

I myself have always maintained... that if it
weren't for the Hollywood censorship laws in place,
the Humans in POTA, being so animal-like, would
have been naturally nude. It makes sense from many
angles. Just imagine how nice that would have been
:-) And instead of Zira asking, "Where was the one
that was wearing the 'strange' clothes?" she would
have asked, "Where is the one what was wearing
clothes?" Such would have has an effect on the
character dialog, for certain.

That's one of the all time problems in Hollywood, and gripes from
women actors...Not enough female parts written...Aside from "break-
out" roles, of a sorts, like Sarah Connor, Ripley and Lara Croft,
they just don't write for/buy scripts with "action women"...It's a
crying shame, if you ask me...For example, I thought Lara Croft was
far more interesting than Indiana Jones, but then, maybe I'm
biased...=)

No. But then again... my real name isn't
Jonathan Rich, either, or Jon Rich, for short.
Jonathan Rich is my nom de plume- my pen name,
and artist name.

And if you're interested in seeing some of my
artwork, I have some pages on VCL.

WARNING- Adult Content.
http://us.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/Jonathan-Rich/index01.html"

Even though I am best known for doing 'furry'
art, I do all kinds of artwork- drawing, photoma-
nipulations and 3D/CGI. The VCL pages show my
furry art stuff. Furry art commissions... have
made me... lots of money :-D

It's also why I was looking for POTA 3D materials
here, having posted a request to anyone whom may
know of any 3D resources for such. I want to make
some POTA 3D art. But... no one has responded to
that posted request yet. Oh well.

I want to do a 'comic' where some Humans are found
by Apes. The Humans are found in suspended animation
in the underground ruins of a lab, part of an experi-
ment that 'could' have been used for long duration
space travel. 30 suspended-animation capsules were
part of the experiment, but only six were still
operating when the Apes stumbled across them. 24
Humans died, but six survived. My idea was to put
that lab in France, in honor of Pierre Boulle, to
take place only ten years before Taylor's arrival on
future earth. That's a timeframe we're so familier
with. However... the Human residents in France can
still speak, though primitively. Possible- since
evolution varies across oceans. Australia serves
as a perfect example. I even considered another
story where astronauts come from Mars, a very old
colony there, that has survived all that time, as
a small group of astronauts are sent to Earth to
re-survey it for recolonization. The colony is
called New France. Unlike Taylor who told Zaius
that he was from another planet, not knowing that
he was actually on Earth, my Human adventurers
truly would be :-) And a spaceship still enters
the picture :-)

Both methods I've considered do not employ
either ANSA or... 'time travel'.

Imagine that- French-speaking apes :-)

Oh, I think they gave her more than two thoughts, but not very deep thoughts, since her "role" was right up there with the other PLANET "illogical rubbish" stuff, such as the apes speaking English and Taylor not knowing he was back on earth, and the no moon thing, etc.  Just stuff that adults were meant to ignore -- SO IGNORE THEM!

Everything that was good in CASINO ROYALE (2006) was that which was "retro-Bond" from the sixties, the music that sounded like classic John Barry, the few moments of the old-style panache with the action and editing, etc.

I missed who originally wrote this, but I feel the only "proper" way to appreciate a film is to view from the time of its release.  If you're watching a movie from 1968, you should not think about anything in the culture that came afterward.  Movies are thousands of little pictures of frozen time, after all, and it's not fair to judge what's in a movie by what the filmmakers couldn't or even shouldn't know about the future.

Some advice, my friend; Don't even reply to
posts like that. I'm not. Wild shouting rants
like that so confusing and angry... just aren't
worth responding to. They are just the sparks
that lead to flaming. So I suggest... just
ignore such. Anyone that angry because of a
conversation they're not even involved in, has
emotional issues that likely none of us can pro-
fessionally address. That's really a job for
head-doctors. Every group attracts an unjusti-
fiably angry personality like that, and... it's
for the group's owner and moderators to contend
with. Let them :-) One bad apple need not
spoil such a wonderful group as this one.

Just... a suggestion on my part. Hope the
advice helps :-)

I have no doubt about that at all. And only
one line from Taylor defined 'part' of Stewart's
purpose on the mission- that of a 'mate' and
likely sexual relief. The new Eve- indeed.

Now isn't that the dream of some men!!!
Nova, the non-nagging silent mate, and without
any 'culture' and thusly no moral values, ready
for coitus when the slightest urge hits either
of them, with Nova totally incapable of even
saying... 'No', and with no knowledge of a
woman's rights or feminimism. A dream for
males with no sense or caring for equity.
Oh my, paradise for the myscogenistic :-(

> So.. what do they normally do when women

I can say. Five-finger Sally got the job
done! For men on ships and space stations
and in other womanless environments, self-
satisfasction is the primary means to sexual
relief. That... and rarer- homosexuality,
of course. But me- I'm not judging anybody.
But realistically- that's what happens.
that's real life. Anyone here ever been to
prison? Please... don't answer that. I think
my point is made.

You noticed that too!!! I thought it was
just me!

No kidding- with all of those Human females
around, I cannot believe that neither of those
two Tv POTA astronauts struck up a meaningful
relationship with ANY human female. They may
have perhaps been gay, if the series is any
indication at all. IF... the series proves
anything relative to that. But it is odd
that neither took a Human as girlfriend os as
a mate or spouse. Strange.

Now that would have been an interesting retelling
of the story :-) I better imagine Steward involved
in a love triangle between Taylor and Landon- Dodge
the odd man out, and perhaps a mediator who kept
Taylor and Landon from tearing out each other's
throats. It sure would have been more emotionally
intense than Taylor's relationship with Nova. Gee-
I don't think I can recall them actually kidding
one another. Did they??? Not so sure.

IMO The only dramatic purpose that Stewart served was to give the
audience a visual shock early in the film as well as to show just how
long the astronauts had been in flight.

James, I thought we couldn't decide how long they were in flight?
Beards but no Hair or fingernail growth.Was Stewart dead from Age,
lack of oxygen, hunger, thirst or boredom?
Perhaps a second chance for all the nano-barber jokes...

On a related note. From memory, I read somewhere that the person who
played Stewart as a corpse was an elderly woman. anyone else heard or

I agree James. And since no women were in the U.S. astronaut program in 1968 it was both 'futuristic' and 'modern (1968) thinking' as well to at least include her.

I think that it would be Lara Croft... doing
the 'eating'. Angelina Jolie is a bisexual/lesbian,
but I'm pretty sure that Linda Carter- isn't :-)

But yeah... there's definately a 'film' in there
somewhere :-D

But yeah, Sarah Conner (Linda Hamilton) would have
been great in a full and active 'Stewart' role, or
could have played a good female 'Taylor' :-)

And did you know she has a twin sister? :-)

Yes, except there was no hair growth on the head.No fingernail
growth.I agree that the intent was to display a long flight.But how
long?
I tend to think it was no more than a couple of months at most or
probably actually only a few days.
Since they had Suspended animation capabilities and if we assume the
mission was to another Star (not sure if this is the mission) then
they would minimise the strain on life support systems.
So they didn't spend many months or years awake in flight.
So why is Stewart mummified?
Dramatic licence of course, but any other explanation?
Did her makeup react badly to the sun lamp in the Cryo chamber?
Was she Mutton dressed up as Lamb?
Did her Nip and Tucks meet gravity?

Who will lose sleep over this?

Brendan.

I Seem to recall a scene where Taylor is discusing
Stewart's death with Langdon and says its a bit late
for a wake as she's been dead 'over a year' so that
gives some idea how long they were in space.

Yeah, I think you are right.

+++well, the thing is, the human women are written as infantile. (And
you gotta love that halo lighting effect that showed up on the pretty
girls, Sondra Locke being one example - ugh, she's not a favorite of
mine). But to be fair, while there *were* interesting human males as
guest stars, there weren't many. Humans, even though they could talk
in the series, were limited.

And we *did* have interesting females at least guest-starring on the
show: the apes. Wanda and Carsia are two of my favorites. Of course I
love a good villain:)

As far as the astronauts not being interested in women, well... they
weren't going to show purely sexual couplings, not on this show at
this time. There'd need to be a reason for them to be attracted, like
some intellect, some moral fiber combined with some innate goodness,
wouldn't there, along with being attractive. I don't think at the
time they could have ever showed Alan being unfaithful without a lot
of condemnation. There was one time when he showed interest: with
Amy. Half the time it felt like a fatherly interest and the rest of
the time ... not so much. Kind of uggy. He missed his family - he
wanted to be faithful - but at some point you'd think he'd realize
he's just not going home.

Now Burke could have played. If the show had stayed on the air, I'm
betting he would have an episode or two centered on just that - a
woman who meets the requirements and then who dies tragically in the
end. Remembering the times, that'd be my guess.

James said: IMO The only dramatic purpose that Stewart served was to give the
audience a visual shock early in the film as well as to show just how
long the astronauts had been in flight.
 
++I agree, but would add also to be able to let Taylor give that titillating little speech.

Indeed! Say... 13 months, or thereabouts?
A nice, round, unlucky number.

The ship's clock showed ship time, so he could
guess how long she's been dead, though he didn't
actually know 'when' the capsule's glass broke.

And interesting that they used glass- something
so fragile. I guess that the ANSA couldn't afford
Lexan- found in the transparent visors of space
helmets!!! The real life ones can take a sledge-
hammer blows.

LOL! :-D Oh... hell no :-] They aren't those
kinds of 'Twins'.

And more to a point, as far as I know, the only
time her own sister was seen in a movie release,
was in Terminator II. There was a scene, cut from
the original theatre release, but included on the
DVD special edition, where Sarah Conner with her
son, opens up the Terminator's head, in that filling
station garage where they stopped to rest. They
were looking into a mirror as she opened his head
to take a look at the chip that drove him and his
actions. The mirror wasn't a mirror, but the movie
set duplicated on the other side of the wall to
simulate the mirror effect. The real Schwarzenegger
and Linda Hamilton's sister were 'in the mirror' on
the far side, while Linda herself and the Terminator
dummy prop, with opened head, was on the 'real life'
near side. It took quite a bit of actor and camera
coordination and timing to pull it off right, and
it worked beautifully. Odd though that they cut
that scene in the original theatre release after
all of the trouble they went to, to create that
marvelous scene :-)

Movie trivia- gotta love it :-)

Hmmmm... you make some interesting points. but I
have to say... let's 'be real'.

We're talking about two astronauts, whom by nature
ad training are two young and healthy men. They cannot
ignore their hormones and they obviously weren't bible-
thumping fundamentalists or superior moral standing,
not that that stopped many such from falling from grace.
Just watch the national news.

Youthful and atletic, with no way home, with per-
fectly normal sex-drives, if approached realisticaly,
I have little doubt that both of themwould have tried
to form relationships with a couple of the local women.
Surely more happened than we saw on the screen.

The alternative is otherwise unfortunate, the pair
either being gay, or j**kin' *ff all the time for re-
lief.

No normal person of any sexual preference... wants
to be alone, eat alone, sleep alone... and so on. There
is a strong natural drive towardsa seeking out intimate
companionship, permanance and stability and... family.
The drive and consequence of having children and all
that goes with it. That is a goal for most of us as
normal Human Beings. Our nature and instincts just
can't be ignored.

No... they wouldn't have showed 'sex' in the Tv series,
but they certainly could show love and romance, nice ele-
ments to see, especially in the context of a run-for-your-
life survival scenario. There has to be time for roman-
tic intimate moments.

Personally... I think thshow last one important
thing. A 'goal'. A goal beyond just surviving from
one threatening scenario after another. They had no
plan or destination beyind just staying alive and
taking down the latest or most persistant bad guy,
or gal.

Such a goal could have been to help Mankind sur-
vive by seeking out a safe place for Humans to colo-
nize and live, and grow to become strong, and enough
to collectively defend themselves against the Ape
threat. That would mean unifying Humanity in some
way, and not just worrying about their own skins,
which seemed to be their primary concern. How did
they forget that there's strength in planning and
numbers?

Anyway... the astronauts picking up a couple
of girlfriends would have made the show far more
interesting, balancing a little romance against the
action of the struggle for survival. It worked with
Taylor and Nova, so why not with them? At least...
that's my view :-)

Linda's sister can be scene in Terminator II in the scene near the
end where the T-1000 is imitatating Sarah and the real Sarah appears
behind it. The real Sarah (in the background of the shot) is Linda's
sister.

On an semi-related note, I read recently that "Beauty and the Beast"
is being released on DVD soon, though I'm too lazy to go look up when.

Actually, there is hair growth...Look at Taylor, when he lies down,
before the credits...When he wakes up his hair is longer...I think CH
is the only one they did that with, though...They filmed his sequences
backwards, as in, the opening scenes were filmed last, after he shaved,
and they cut his hair...

The other odd thing about Stewart is what happened to her chair.If,
as seems commonly agreed, Zira, Milo and Cornelius travelled back in
Taylor's ship, the lost footage shots look like three chairs in a
row, not four, and the (same) ship in the tv series only has the same
three in a row.Doomed to mate with Moses and crew, then suffocated
and mummifies and THEN they throw her chair out!? It probably made
no difference that she was dead on arrival--she'd have drowned before
she got to the boat.I, personally, think Stewart's character was a
handy way for Taylor to compare and contrast her with Nova.John,
Scrolls.

Well... those instincts can't be ignored so easily.
Just check the news of the last few years, with dozens
of Catholic priests found guilty of sexually molesting
hundreds of children ovr time, and quite a few funda-
mentalist Evangelists being caught commiting adultery,
pederastry, homosexuality... and all of them doing so
after professing to adhering to a higher standard than
the rest of us, supposedly setting the standards for the
moral high ground. Thay all prove, that under the high-
est standards with the most to prove, and to lose, that
'instincts' and 'drives' and 'biological needs' cannot
be squelched. And those are just the ones we know about
and whome have been caught and presecuted.

So... you say... that two young and strong and
healthy astronauts... can't secure just one girl-
friend each, from among so many to choose from???
What standrads are they going by, and what makes
their drive and instincts- so different???

IF... the Tv episodes tell any story at all
based on the scripts and their 'adventures', it
tells that those fellas are either virtually sex-
less, something reserved for the very ill, very
old, or nearly dead, or... between the observed
adventures, they are as gay as Oscar Wilde [not
that there's anything wrong with that] and could
not care less about women in any personal intimate
context.

Again- this is from the context of 'being real',
since the Tv POTA episodes never clearly eluded to
such being the case, and we all have to just presume
that they were hetero- straight.

I still maintain that they needed at least a
little romance with member of the oppisite sex,
to better humanize a pair... surrounded by the
non-Human. It still makes me wonder what they
were striving so hard to survive for. Thay had
no long-term goal except straightforward survival,
and nothing to 'protect' except themselves, no
loves in their lives to fight to save and preserve,
no family to strive to provide for and to struggle
to keep alive. That makes it somewhat harder to
just care about only 'them'- all the time.

And 14 episodes... isn't really a lot to fully
develop a set of series characters, I think. Heck-
even Star Trek had 79 live action episodes to hash
things out.

Well... I'm speaking about drama here, and what
'I' would like to have seen to give more quality
and character and content to the show. Just my
expression of what I would like to have seen.
That's all :-) And just a friendly debate- no
harm intended- at all :-)

Thanx so much for the intelligent exchange :-D

Your logic is bass-ackwards here. All this proves is that *some*
people give in to their desires, regardless of their oaths. There are
thousands of others who do control them.

    You know... you just revealed for me a nitpick that
    I never considered, but beyond Stewart's missing chair.
    her MISSING BACKPACK of survival supplies!!! The 3
    fellas surely had the very few seconds needed to grab
    her survival pack as well.

    Each man had a backack or survival package. But
    where was Stewart's portion or load??? And would not
    the fellas have taken hers with them also? What was
    'she' expected to carry- that was not taken along,
    which would have aided them in their survival? More
    water? Food? Medical supplies? Pot and pans???
    (No cheuvanism there- as men need cooking utensiles
    too!) Tampons? Realistically- those would be needed
    too, and oh Gawd- toilet paper!!! Who would want to
    do without THAT! And soap and water. Hundreds of
    real creature comforts, if not- essentials.

    True enough, I think, that Stewart was positively
    nothing more than a plot device, a story-telling tool
    poorly considered, and then tossed mindlessly aside,
    worthy of only occassional reference. Sad, but ob-
    viously very true.

    Thanx for sharing your viewpoints :-D

    I certainly can't argue that. You're quite
    right :-) Such are, yes, clearly exceptions to
    the rule, or the commonplace.

    But in the case of our intrepid astronaut pair,
    we're not talking about people in the positions of
    priests and evangelists or corporate heads or politi-
    cians. Far from it. They're just a couple of astro-
    naughts- professionals, yes- highly educated and of
    course well trained, BUT... what possible oath or
    standard are they expected to adhere to, to prevent
    them from finding girlfriends & having a love life????
    What about their job or mission stops them from being
    perfectly normal average Human beings??? What about
    their mission requires to only preserve their lives,
    but prevents them from... 'living'??? See my point?

    Do you truly believe that that took an oath or
    were required to follow a serious regulation that
    forbids they the natural right of perfectly normal
    Human companionship? Goodness- I hope not :-(
    Such things are only demanded by totalitarian or
    fascist states and organizations. Even in the U.S.
    two people with Downe's Syndrome cannot legally be
    forbidden to marry, and have children. Or have the
    lessons of Nazi Germany of WWII not been learned?!?
    Regulating and legislating sex- just... doesn't...
    work. History has proven that over thousands of
    years. Forcing sexlessness it immoral, and unna-
    tural from every reasonable perspective.

    Considering their task, their mission, I cannot
    imagine anyone even considering an oath, promise or
    standard that so unfairly- and inhumanly- forces them
    to be companionless, not being permitted to love, or
    make love, to another fellow human being. That is
    just so unfair and unnatural that it violates all
    logic and knowledge on how Human life works, and is
    entirely contrary to real Human nature. It's just a
    totally unreasonable assumption from all angles.

    Furthermore, let me just say another thing.
    True Human nature in general is clear, proven by
    deep and repeated professional psychological and
    sociological and historical studies have shown
    very, very clearly how we are as a species. POTA,
    defines a wasteland created by Human folly rooted
    in what we are, noted by the Lawgiver himself. He
    sees Humans, us, as we truly are, and being a POTA
    fan, as I persume, I think correctly, that you your-
    self are, means that you also must be accepting that
    the truths told about us, are indeed true. You and
    I and we do all- seem to agree that we do have the
    capacity to totally destroy ourselves, and accepting
    that... all other aspects of our 'humanity' are also
    true.

    It was Thane who said that what there is of Human
    culture- lies below the waist. Too damned true, as
    even history itself clearly tells. If any truth came
    out of Burton's POTA at all- THAT... is most definately
    one of the most accurate truths. And as far as relation-
    ships concerning sex is concerned, Sigmund Freud said
    that the only 'abnormal' sex, as far as Human Beings
    are concerned, is the absense of sex. And as yet-
    his assertion has not been proven wrong in all this
    time.

    In conclusion, using the POTA Tv serious as the
    canon proof of the love-lives of those two astronauts,
    very few clear conclusions can be made. Such as...
    1) they are sexless, or 2) their goals as far as 'life'
    are concerned are totally misguided, or 3) they are gay,
    or 4) their love-lives are more centered on the Apes
    that they associate with most closely- and it seems
    that no one wants to consider that, or 5) their normal
    heterosexual relationships are so quick, so fleeting and
    so private, that they haven't as yet been clearly wit-
    nessed by those that may reveal the tale. There may be
    other possibilities, but I think I covered the best
    among them.

    And Sir, thank you so VERY much for your input and
    feedback, truly :-) It was a delight, and it is won-
    derful having a mature forum like this where these
    matters such as these can be so openly discussed with
    like-minded POTA folks, and fans :-D Bravo :-)

    says, "Planet Ape"; the right hand type translates to "Pierre
    Boulle"; and the column of type on the spine says, "Classic World
    Fantasy"...

    Uncle Santa gave me the cd of 'Fantastic Voyage' by Leonard Rosenman
    and it's an amazing blend of Battle and Beneath, really wonderful. I
    had not really thought about the name of the ship in that movie before,
    but it's 'Proteus'.As Fantastic Voyage(1966) is often credited as being
    the movie that opened the door for other sci fi films, particularly
    Apes, I wonder is the Sacred Scrolls guy who chained the Man in the
    garden to make sport of him a little nod by the authors to Fantastic
    Voyage, and its impact? John, Scrolls.

      I also wholeheartedly agree with you, Kass.  Women aren't sex objects,
      they have opinions and feelings too.

      Glen, you know I'm fond of you. Or was. But really, such bad poetry,
      AND you called me a fool?

      John. Just shut your yapper.

      See, that's why I'm on this Group--it's the respect and courtesy that
      I get.Can I just say how in awe of Glen I am in having the courage to
      call Kass a fool.He will be remembered fondly by us all and I think
      we should have a collection for his family and loved ones.Any scraps
      of his body found should be sent to James for re-assembly and burial,
      care of this Group.John, Scrolls.

      He meant to type cool, not fool. That was a typo. The f is right
      above the c on the keyboard.

      OK Glen you can come out from under the desk now.
